This blog was created for Niles Animal Hospital & Bird Medical Center by Peter S. Sakas DVM in an effort to provide information & discussion about animal related issues. It may move into some eccentric directions on occasion if the mood strikes me as I get more comfortable in this form of communication. I am open to suggestions & comments about the blog.

Adam and Eve's Pets (A Bible "Story")

This is not my original composition....it is from an email I received, but is a fun Bible "story" that I wanted to share.

The Story of Adam
& Eve's Pets

Adam and Eve said, 'Lord, when
we were in the garden, You walked with us every day. Now we do not see You any
more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much You
love us.'

And God said, ‘I will create a
companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love
for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of
how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept
you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves.'

And God created a new animal
to be a companion for Adam and Eve.

And it was a good animal and
God was pleased.

And the new animal was pleased
to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.

And Adam said, 'Lord, I have
already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for
this new animal.’

And God said, 'I have created
this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a
reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.'

And Dog lived with Adam and
Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.

And they were comforted.

And God was pleased.

And Dog was content and wagged
his tail.

After a while, it came to pass
that an angel came to the Lord and said, 'Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled
with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy
of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too
well.'

And God said, I will create
for them a companion who will be with them and who will see them as they are.
The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that
they are not always worthy of adoration.'

And God created "CAT" to be a
companion to Adam and Eve.

And
Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were
reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
